r/GoogleWallet

Today I had my wallet stolen, so I had to cancel my card and get it replaced. Once I got all the information for it and transferred it to Google Wallet (so I wouldn't have no way of buying anything. My bank told me to do this), every time I scan my phone to purchase something at a shop, the screen reads something like "TRY AGAIN", and the card reader says it could not read my card.

I have phoned my bank about this, and they say there are no blocks on my account or anything. I have also reset my phone, but nothing changed.

EDIT: Uninstalled/reinstalled the app, then removed/readded my card. It seems to be working now

Google wallet stopped working on my wonderful Asus Zenfone 7 a while ago because that Android version was outdated (the message didn't say this because of political correctness).

The solution that I found is a bit expensive as it requires buying a NFC token/wearable, but it works and it's quite elegant, too.

The name of the solution is Fidesmo (Swedish company).

They work the same as a proxy between the card provider and the NFC token. And it's free (at least now - been using it for almost an year now).

I use Revolut and unfortunately it works only with VISA cards from them.

The token can be a bracelet, a watch, a ring, etc - just look on the Internet for compatible Fidesmo devices. There are lots of them and quite elegant. I bought a cheap LAKS bracelet with a big discount on Black Friday and removed the NFC chip to put it in a pretty iTag case 😄

So, once you have the token/wearable and the card, just install Fidesmo on the smartphone (I use Android, stock ROM, no root needed), start it and follow the steps. It takes a couple of minutes for the pairing and writing the NFC chip.

In nearly a year I never had an issue with this setup.

I just noticed yesterday that Google Pay did not want to work in a restaurant yesterday. I thought it was a fluke because it has always been working previously. Then I tried to purchase something at the mall, and it was not working again.

I googled and it seems Google Pay no longer works for China-branded phones. My Xiaomi was purchased from the official store, and so it is on Global Rom.

Anybody experience the same situation and what is the solution?

The problem is not with the credit card because I was able to use my cc after Google Pay failed.

Thank you.

Anybody else have an issue with Google Wallet not adding any of their cards? Evidently mine isn't issuing virtual card tokens at ALL so no card will work, tried different banks too. None work. My banks blame Google, Google blames the banks. Honestly this is a huge letdown for my Pixel 10 Pro XL and I'm almost regretting getting it.

Anybody else have this issue and fixed it?

Location - Germany. So it was announced time and again, that paypal will not feature on new devices in google wallet (however still be there if previously added).

Just got the Fold 8 and what do you know - just added paypal to the wallet and yesterday tested it - works.

Wondering what the hype was about, as I can't find anything retracting that news.
